Background Art

[0002] With the development of communication technology, there are multiple types of networks in smart terminal devices using the Android system, and dual-SIM dual-standby has become the standard configuration of smart terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Some smart terminal devices also use triple-SIM and other multi-SIM functions. These smart terminals using multiple SIM cards tend to use 4G and 5G mobile data networks, especially some smart terminals used outdoors.

[0003] For such smart terminal devices that support dual or even multiple SIM cards, if 4G, 5G and other mobile network resources are fully utilized, a better network experience can be obtained in a specific environment. However, in the Android system, although multiple types of networks are supported, the Android system network mechanism only allows one network to exist by default, and there is also a mechanism that only activates one data network among multiple mobile data networks. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method that can achieve the coexistence of multiple data networks to solve the defects of the current existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (1) is specifically:

[0047] The type of built-in SIM card in the current Android system can be determined by the value of the property persist.radio.multisim.config, including single SIM card (SSSS), dual SIM card (DSDS), and triple SIM card (TSTS).

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (3) specifically comprises the following steps:

[0049] (3.1) Modify the initialization parameters of the PhoneCapability class to ensure that the current Android system has parameters for multiple SIM cards;

[0050] (3.2) After the Android system network component sends a network request, the TelephonyNetworkFactory class in the Telephony module is responsible for related services to ensure that the data network of each SIM complies with the request rules.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (4) is specifically as follows:

[0052] In the process of establishing the data network through the radio interface layer RIL, the telephony module will judge the primary and secondary cards and modify the process of not being able to establish the data network for non-primary cards.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (4) further comprises:

[0054] Modify the Android system's network service ConnectivityService, where the teardownUnneededNetwork() method is used to retain the currently used data network and close other data networks.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (5) is specifically as follows:

[0056] Check the routing policy in the terminal device. If the relevant routing policy is missing, add the relevant routing policy through the iptable tool in the Android network component Netd.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (6) is specifically as follows:

[0058] In the Android system settings application, the relevant interface of the Telephony module is called to perform the switch operation of the mobile data network, and by modifying the specific service, the mobile data network of the non-primary card will not be forcibly closed, and the relevant status display is ensured to be correct.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the step (7) is specifically as follows:

[0060] By calling the interface of the Telephony module, the SystemUI of the Android system displays the data network icon for the mobile data, and adjusts the judgment of multiple mobile data networks to ensure that the icon status is displayed correctly.

[0061] In practical application, the method for realizing coexistence of multiple mobile data networks for the Android system of the smart terminal of the technical solution specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] 1. Determine whether the device supports multi-SIM configuration. The Android system supports single SIM (SSSS), dual SIM (DSDS), and triple SIM (TSTS).

[0063] 2. Based on the result in step 1, confirm that the device can access the Internet by activating any Sim card network. At this time, only one card can access the Internet;

[0064] 3. Modify the Telephony module in the Android system and change the process of activating the mobile data network of one Sim card while closing the mobile data network establishment of other cards.

[0065] 4. Modify the network mechanism in the Android system to remove the process of shutting down other networks while enabling one network;

[0066] 5. Check the routing policy in the device. If the relevant routing policy is missing, add it through the Android system network component Netd using iptable;

[0067] 6. Modify the settings application in the Android system to ensure that the status of the multi-SIM mobile data network in the settings is correct;

[0068] 7. Modify the SystemUI application in the Android system to ensure that the multi-card mobile data network icon in the device status bar is displayed correctly.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the above steps are implemented in the following manner:

[0070] 1. Determine the multi-sim configuration in the system. The Android system has built-in single-sim (SSSS), dual-sim (DSDS / DSDA), and triple-sim (TSTS). This can be determined by the value of the property persist.radio.multisim.config.

[0071] 2. Modify the Telephony module in the Android system. First, modify the PhoneCapability class initialization parameters to ensure that they are parameters for multiple SIM cards.

[0072] 3. After the Android system network component sends a network request, it will be responsible for related services through the TelephonyNetworkFactory class in the Telephony module to ensure that the data network of each SIM complies with the request rules;

[0073] 4. In the process of establishing a data network through RIL (Radio Interface Layer), the Telephony module has the judgment of primary and secondary cards, and the process of not being able to establish a data network for non-primary cards is modified.

[0074] 5. In addition, the Telephony module has settings for multiple SIM cards, primary and secondary cards, to adjust their specific services and ensure that after selecting the primary card, the data network of other cards will not be forcibly closed;

[0075] 6. Modify the Android system network service ConnectivityService, its teardownUnneededNetwork() method will close the remaining networks and only keep the currently applied network;

[0076] 7. Check whether the routing strategy is complete. If it is missing, add relevant routing strategies through the iptable tool in the Android network component Netd.

[0077] 8. In the Android system settings application, the relevant interfaces of Telephony will be called to implement functions such as switching on and off the mobile data network. Its specific services need to be modified so that the mobile data network of non-primary cards will not be forcibly closed, and ensure that the relevant status is displayed correctly.

[0078] 9. In the Android system's SystemUI, there is an icon display for mobile data networks, which is also implemented by calling the interface of the Telephony module to adjust its judgment on multiple mobile data networks to ensure that the icon status is displayed correctly.

[0079] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the main ideas of this technical solution are as follows:

[0080] 1. Determine the multi-sim configuration in the system. The Android system has built-in single-sim (SSSS), dual-sim (DSDS / DSDA), and triple-sim (TSTS). Determine it through the value of the property persist.radio.multisim.config. The judgment interface is: getActiveModemCount() method in the TelephonyManager class.

[0081] 2. The above steps describe the number of modems that can be activated in the system, which represents the number of SIM cards. For data networks, there is another parameter: Data Connection (which describes the modem data connection capability). The default value of the activatable Data Connect in the Android system is 1, which can be configured in the PhoneCapability class. During initialization, modify the value of its parameter mMaxActiveDataSubscriptions.

[0082] 3. The establishment of a data network requires many conditions. When there are multiple SIM cards in the Android system, the switching of SIM cards and the establishment of their data networks are managed through PhoneSwitcher, MultiSimSettingController, Dctracker and other classes. There are primary and secondary card settings in the system, and the primary card is usually marked with Default. The system data network mechanism only allows one data network to be opened, and it is also bound to the Default card. When the data network of a SIM card is turned on, the data networks of other SIM cards will be automatically closed, and this card will be set as the Default card. To this end, in order to achieve the coexistence of multiple data networks, it is necessary to crack the original mechanism in the system that only allows one data network. It can be completed in several steps.

[0083] 4. First, after the Android system network component sends a Network Request, it will send a request to PhoneSwitcher to establish a network through the data network's TelephonyNetworkFactory. The shouldApplyNetworkRequest() method determines whether to accept the request. The core judgment factor is the phoneID, which is the number set by the SIM card in the system. For which data network to use, the method needs to be changed to ensure that the data network of each SIM card meets the request.

[0084] 5. When the data network establishes a data network to the Modem through the RIL (Radio Interface Layer), the trySetupData() method will be called to try to establish a Data Connect. During this process, it will determine whether the data network currently trying to establish a Data Connect meets the conditions. The main focus is on the judgment of DEFAULT_DATA_UNSELECTED in the isDataAllowed() method. Because non-Default cards do not have this configuration, this condition needs to be removed.

[0085] 6. In the MultiSimSettingController class, the service for setting the Default card will turn off the data network of other cards when the Default card changes. To this end, you can control this behavior in the disableDataForNonDefaultNonOpportunisticSubscriptions() method of this class. In addition, this class will call onUserDataEnabled() to update the settings of the Default card after the data network is enabled. If this logical service is not modified, the Default card may be switched repeatedly. At the same time, since the data network status of each SIM card is saved in the data, it is also necessary to ensure that the status is saved correctly.

[0086] 7. Secondly, data networks are usually turned on and off in the settings and status bar in the Android system. In the system settings, turning on the data network of a SIM card will turn off the data network of the remaining cards. The setMobileDataEnabled() method in the MobileNetworkUtils class is needed to control the behavior of turning off the data network of other SIM cards. In SystemUI (status bar), the setMobileDataEnabled() method in the DataUsageController class is called to turn on and off the data network. It mainly focuses on the data network of the Default card, so it also needs to be modified to focus on the data network of all SIM cards. Of course, third-party images with different settings and status bars may have different levels of customization, which need to be adjusted according to the actual development situation.

[0087] 8. After completing the configuration and process change of the data network in the Telephony component, the data network will eventually be handed over to the ConnectivityService in the system to unify the network request. As mentioned earlier, the Android system network only allows one network connection by default, so this behavior needs to be changed in the teardownUnneededNetwork() method in the ConnectivityService class.

[0088] 9. After the above transformation, multiple data networks can exist in the Android system, and the data network icons in the status bar also display data uplink and downlink icons, and the network status of the corresponding network card of the data network can be checked through the ifconfig command. This expands the operating space for system optimization of data networks.
